STEP-BY-STEP MOVES FOR DOMINATING BIGGER, STRONGER OPPONENTS ON THE GROUND

This is the 2nd app in the How to Defeat the Bigger Stronger Opponent series which features BJJ world champion Emily Kwok and Stephan Kesting from Grapplearts.com.

The focus of this app is compensating for strength when you’re outsized and overpowered by a much larger opponent. The techniques have been specifically chosen because they work on people stronger than you.

Larger grapplers often just use their their strength, size and weight advantages to overpower you. It’s very frustrating to get pinned and smothered by a less skilful opponent whose only advantage is having 10 (or 50) pounds of additional muscle.

In this app two BJJ black belts show you the techniques and strategies to defeat even the biggest, strongest, scariest attackers on the ground. Crazy speed, flexibility, or athleticism are NOT required; the emphasis is on staying safe and preventing injuries at all times.

Emily is a multiple time BJJ world champion, both with and without the gi. She has taught and worked with thousands of grapplers of all levels.

Emily faces people bigger than her on the mats every single day, and she’s learned that the single-most important thing you can do to stop a larger opponent from rag dolling you on the mat is to control the grips.

First you’ll learn the guard sweep system Emily uses when she’s on the bottom. The reality is that you WILL end up on the bottom at some point. With these techniques you’ll be able to sweep your opponent and get to the top.

The next section covers guard passing. These techniques are proven to work at an elite level because stop you from being manhandled, stalled out, or submitted as you pass.

Finally we cover pin escapes.

You’ll learn the right techniques and strategies to use if you find yourself pinned on the bottom. These are the best ways to survive the smother, escape the pin, and get back into the game!

Make space and get things moving again when someone is 100% determined to pin you flat allows you to stay in the game when you’re wrestling with a big hormone-endowed Sasquatch.

Every technique is taught with an emphasis on safety. As a smaller grappler you have to be careful not to get injured when a bigger partner moves explosively in unpredictable ways.

Excellent Apps As usual each of Stephan's apps are clear, concise, filler-free and jammed with great techniques. I find myself referring back to these apps frequently and have got a huge amount out of them. Keep up the good work

Great, clear instructions and breakdown. Highly recommended

Awesome instructional! I've purchased multiple grapplearts products and have gotten a great deal out of all of them. When you combine Stephan's ability to teach with Emily's you get a fantastic instructional. I'd say to get the most out of these you should at least have some time on the mats under your belt as the basic basics are covered, but some of the more advanced techniques get a little more complicated. Overall one of my favorite instructionals, and has allowed me to expand my game.

Great app The content and video quality is fantastic. I do wish the very large video files could be moved to the SD card.

Excellent Stephan and Emily are my favorite online instructors. They are a great supplement to your local instructor. They explain things well, great videography, and they have fun.
